31
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.079
Thank you for the warm introductions, mcash. I feel like
32
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.280
I'm getting hyped up before a boxing match.
33
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.000
Yeah. I was about to remind everybody how you get
34
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.000
Animal House one star but Scoob two and a half stars. Uh,
35
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.640
but dicided otherwise. But then I guess I just did it.
36
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.960
Still, Well, Scoob's a better movie than a House, So
37
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:12.400
there you have it.
38
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.719
Uh, you're trying to deliver a knockout before the fight
39
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.000
has even started, sir.
40
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.120
Well, you're the one that brought up Animal House, and
41
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.039
now I'm mad about that movie.
42
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.840
That's right about Glins fighters.
43
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.759
Back to your corners. Let's how are we doing this
44
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.159
fall U afternoon?
45
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.319
Yeah, I'm I'm feeling great. This is the most wonderful
46
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.439
time of the year. So I'm I'm stoked.
47
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.000
Love it.
48
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:39.960
Don't have to mow the art anymore.
49
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.599
That's right. And everything's dead and everything's.
50
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.599
Dead and cold. Yeah, I love it. I mean, it's
51
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.479
just the beginning of November. I don't think everything's dead.
52
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.520
Just oh, come over to my house, pal, everything's dead.
53
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.120
I think we're we're close to it's usually the first
54
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.280
or second week of November. That's peak leaf season. So yeah, there,
55
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.080
you're right, there's still like a couple more weeks of
56
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.240
life left.
57
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.000
I think we're still I mean, we're probably in more
58
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.039
like I mean, you know, I'm just trying to imagine
59
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.080
life in November in Tennessee. Yeah, not that I'm living
60
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.000
it right now, but.
61
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.520
I mean I think we're outside.
62
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.039
I mean, I wore a jacket over here. Yeah, I
63
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:19.439
had a gun in it.
64
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.319
You left him, You left him too long to dangle
65
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.080
the cash. Give him, give him enough time. He's going
66
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:28.520
to come up with something, all right.
67
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.560
But yes, I love the season. I love it. It's
68
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.000
it's the holiday, Christmases is before you know it, and
69
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.159
then you know that after New Year's it gets kind
70
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.800
of depressing. But that's okay.
71
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.599
This is that time of year. It's early November where
72
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.199
you know, you start getting inklings of what's to come
73
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.479
in in movies as far as award season, as starting
74
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.039
to like, you know, get off the ground. No award
75
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.759
shows yet, but you know the films themselves are getting
76
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.199
ready to come out. And this is one of those
77
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.039
films we're going to talk about today, and we're talking
78
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.199
about Million Dollar Baby, a two thousand and four film
79
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.360
that it's I could you have to put a little
80
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.199
asterisk next to it because there's really only a two
81
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.520
thousand and four film by like twelve or thirteen days,
82
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:12.800
barely two weeks if that.
83
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:13.719
Yeah.
84
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.959
But Million Dollar Baby is all about determined underdog Maggie
85
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.959
Fitzgerald and her dreams of becoming a professional boxer, as
86
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.800
she convinces the hard and distant trainer Frankie Dunn to
87
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.639
take her under his wing as their bond grows tied.
88
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.399
Of the film explores themes of sacrifice, perseverance, and love
89
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.480
and loss. I had never seen this film before.
90
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.040
I hadn't either this was the first time for me too.
91
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.759
There's a film I always wanted to come around to,
92
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.399
but I'm glad I waited as long as I did
93
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.240
to see it, because I was a hot mess when
94
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.279
this movie was over.
95
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.759
Man. The last like, I mean, like, thirty minutes of
96
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.040
this film are just it is you kind of a
97
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.639
knockout punch. It's a knockout punch. Like I got in
98
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.079
in a motional state and stayed in an emotional state
99
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.519
for like thirty thirty minutes of the back half from
100
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.839
from the match till the end, and it is it's
101
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:12.959
it's it's rough.
102
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.800
Yeah. The first hour and a half or so, I'm like,
103
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.720
all right, And I knew coming into the film, like
104
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.560
what happens to the character of Maggie in the end
105
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:24.959
of the film, But at the first hour and a half,
106
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.279
I'm like, I don't think we're anywhere near the dramatic
107
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.720
turn this film needs.
108
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.040
Yeah, and then bam, it just happens and it raises
109
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.399
really difficult questions you'd have, Like you put yourself in
110
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.720
this in the shoes of the characters Maggie and Frankie both,
111
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.319
and you think about how you would approach something like that.
112
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.199
In the moment, and it is. It's a very harrowing exercise.
113
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.759
This is one of my favorite films of all time.
114
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:04.839
This this is probably my favorite Clinticewood movie period. Yeah, well, yeah,
115
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.800
in his younger days, not some of the stuff he's
116
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.959
made since Grand Tarino, but Grand to Reno's up there
117
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.079
and Mystic River's up there. I really enjoy those, which
118
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.519
obviously he directed them all, but he's only in two
119
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.680
of them. But yeah, I love Million Dollar Baby. I
120
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:22.879
loved it when I saw it. The fact that it
121
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.000
won some Oscars is no surprise, but I think it
122
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.720
still holds up. It's still beautifully done, directed, written, act
123
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:36.120
I mean everybody. I I not that I didn't appreciate
124
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:43.800
him then, but I was really kind of in tune
125
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.240
more of Morgan Freeman's character this time around, more than
126
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.439
just with Frankie Maggie, because he plays such a pivotal
127
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.079
part and you kind of understand why he's telling you
128
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.639
this story at the end, but also what he I think,
129
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.639
in story story wise, what he represents to both of
130
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.160
these characters for them to go on this journey together
131
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.959
to ultimately why the decision has to be made. And yeah,
132
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.000
I mean they're great, and I know we'll talk about
133
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.040
I'm sure on down, but you know, there's some familiar
134
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:22.040
faces in this not doing what they're mostly known for.
135
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.600
Yeah, definitely, we'll get to that when we talk about
136
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.240
the cast. But first of all, it was directed by,
137
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.439
like you said, by Clint Eastwood. It was written by
138
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.720
Paul Haggis, who also wrote Crash, which won a bunch
139
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.839
of Academy Awards. He's written a number of James James
140
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.759
Bond films, including Casino Royale, Quantum Solace, but he got
141
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.279
his start in TV, writing for shows like La Law,
142
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.480
thirty Something, Who's the Boss, as well as iconic cartoons
143
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.959
such as Richie Rich plastic Man in the Happy Days
144
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.959
cartoon Wow what a resume.
145
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.439
Well, he directed, he directed Crash too. He became an
146
00:07:59.480 --> 00:07:59.879
oscar win.
147
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.519
Yep, and you mentioned the cast. We'll get to that
148
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.839
real quick. Hillary Swank as Maggie. You have Clint Eastwood
149
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.120
doing double duty as director and as Frankie Dunn, and
150
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.839
then Morgan Freeman, who's your narrator throughout the film, but
151
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.360
he's also obviously on screen as Eddie Duprees. And then
152
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.360
there's an eclectic group of co stars people that I
153
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.639
did not expect to see in this film and did
154
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.600
not know they were in the film before watching it recently.
155
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.560
J Beerschill, I think that's how you say his name?
156
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.279
Who I know from almost famous, She's out of my league,
157
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.120
Tropic Thunder especially ye, this is the end?
158
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.840
Yeah, knocked up right? Yeah, and the voice of Hiccup.
159
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.080
That's true and forget. Then you have Anthony Mackie, who
160
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:51.279
is known from hert locker The Notorious, The Notorious Pig film,
161
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:56.440
Captain America and variety of Avenger films. In the mcuh
162
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:57.720
these are two names I didn't think to.
163
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.840
See, and I mean Margo Martin Deelle shows up. Michael
164
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:02.200
Pena is in this as well.
165
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.480
Oh yeah, forgot, he's Anthony Mackie's buddy.
166
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:05.000
Yeah.
167
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.960
I did not even realize Big Willie was Mike Colter.
168
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.960
I didn't really catch it. Luke Cage, Oh yeah I did.
169
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.759
Yeah again, they're skinnier, yeah, not as muscular.
170
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.399
With Margo Martindale. I'm actually in a film with her
171
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.120
that I do not remember her being in. She was
172
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:23.720
in the Firm.
173
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:26.159
Wow, oh wow.
174
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.919
I feel like she's been in a ton like she's
175
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.639
just a familiar face. But she ended up finding some
176
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.320
I forgot what limited series or show it was in,
177
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.960
but she started like her name started to come up
178
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.039
a lot, and then I kind of still remember her
179
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.480
films now and let me tell you, she is a
180
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:47.879
hoot in Cocaine Bear.
181
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.399
Yes, she's Cocaine Bear. She was in The Americans with
182
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.120
Kerrie Russell.
183
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.000
That's it. That was the one, and walk.
184
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.320
Hard the Dewey Cox story as.
185
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.279
Well, shit acclaim everywhere.
186
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.919
You mentioned Michael who mostly I loved him an end
187
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.960
of Watch, but he was also an American hustle Yeah,
188
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:07.759
chips and ant man.
189
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.200
Yeah.
190
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.399
And then lastly, another comedic presence which I did not
191
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.200
see coming at all was Ricky Lindholm, who is one
192
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.440
half of the comedy duo Garfunkle and Oates, but is
193
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.480
also known from her appearances in The Knives Out film
194
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:23.399
and Wednesday.
195
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.120
Yeah. That was I like you was a little taken
196
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.639
aback by that some of the choices, like for this
197
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.120
to be such a dramatic, heartfelt film, and then you
198
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.240
see some of these actors pop up. It's kind of like,
199
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:40.840
what movie am I in?
200
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.720
Yeah, but I'm ready to be the beginning for a
201
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.440
lot of room too. So I guess that's why none
202
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.960
of them are familiar two thousand and four or five.
203
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.080
But that's what I was gonna say. In two thousand
204
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.639
and four, I would have not known who any anybody
205
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.600
was outside of Clean Easwood and Morgan Freeman.
206
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.679
You didn't know Hillary Swank.
207
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.440
I knew she existed. I don't remember what she was
208
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:03.600
in prior to this movie.
209
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.320
Well, I will tell you this, and it might be
210
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.440
in your notes. But she's already an Oscar winner by then.
211
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:10.799
Oh she Boys Don't Cry?
212
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.080
Oh yeah, I never saw that.
213
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.879
She won Best Actress for Boys Don't Cry?
214
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:18.399
What you do in these days?
215
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:23.240
She was in some Alaska show, like a detective thing
216
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.840
Hillary Speak and Jody Foster. No, she was in some
217
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.080
kind of detective show.
218
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:32.879
Oh I forgot, How can I forget?
219
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:38.679
Ordinary Angels exactly exactly? Which was sort of like a
220
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.039
a blind side kind of role.
221
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.840
It was weird Alaska Daily.
222
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.840
That's it. Yeah, I knew it was Alaska.
223
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.440
Never heard of it.
224
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.600
I haven't either, but I did know that. I think
225
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.799
it was on Hulu or something. But I did remember
226
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.279
seeing her, But I don't know. I mean, she's a
227
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.600
two time Oscar winner, but she's it's kind of you know,
228
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.039
she did the Core remember that classic sci.
229
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.720
Fi Supposedly she's in Yellow Jackets.
230
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:10.919
Man, like, oh boy. Her filmography the last yeah, I
231
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.879
don't don't.
232
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:13.879
That's it's very John Cusack.
233
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.000
The last decade or so.
234
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.080
Yeah, I remember PS I Love You.
235
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.919
That's the last one I remember that. I'm looking at.
236
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.039
But she But then I'm also wondering, like, was there
237
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:28.759
a phase where like she just didn't really take that
238
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.360
much because I read a thing here a few months
239
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.799
ago that, uh, they tried to get her to come
240
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.759
do some episodes for Cobra Kai, but according to them,
241
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:40.919
she said it just never really like made that much
242
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.440
sense for her to do it.
243
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.480
Okay, well, let's raise a raise a glass to Hillary
244
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:51.559
Swank and her biography. I have a drink for a
245
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.960
million dollar baby. I changed the name on it because
246
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.720
I couldn't pronounce the name. I was going to give
247
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.039
it the nick the name of the nickname that is
248
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.080
given to Maggie, but I'm not gonna butcher it, so
249
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:02.879
I just changed it to the hit Pit. And the
250
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.639
hit Pit is the name of the gem that's actually
251
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:08.679
in the film that is used. Okay, and the hit
252
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:12.279
Pit contains two ounces of bourbon, a half ounce of
253
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.919
sweet verm youth, a half ounce of elderflower liqueur, and
254
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.279
a quarter ounce of fresh lime juice with a dash
255
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.919
of bitters. What you're gonna do add all your ingredients
256
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.120
into a shaker with ice and shake well, and then
257
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:28.519
strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist
258
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.840
and a cherry. It's a smooth but bowl drink, perfect
259
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.559
for toasting resilient heart and a knockout performance.
260
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.720
Hit you right in the chest, right in the chest.
261
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.919
Lemon and cherry is an underrated combo. By the way,
262
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.200
the lemon twist and the yeah.
263
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.440
Those are my favorite starbursts. So I agree with you, sir.
264
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.000
How about that?
265
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:48.799
Oh?
266
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.840
I just pop a couple of those down in here too.
267
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.559
Yep. Now, I did say this film is barely a
268
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.919
two thousand and four film, and we're gonna talk about
269
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.759
money real quick. In the year two thousand and four,
270
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.320
it made a whopping eight hundred and forty two two
271
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:08.879
and fifty three dollars. Hell, yeah, we'll get into the
272
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.559
box office. But what do we think the budget for
273
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:14.039
a million dollar baby was? Hold?
274
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.559
Can I just say that for people that don't know.
275
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.320
This is what they would call an academy run, so
276
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.679
it qualifies for the Oscars. And if you do it
277
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:25.799
in New York and LA and at least do it.
278
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:27.159
I think back then it used to be a week
279
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.840
or two weeks. But a lot of films would do it.
280
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:33.360
American Sniper did it, one of Cleanestwood's movies at Bradley Cooper.
281
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.399
A lot of them would kind of do this little
282
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.639
academy run and then most of us would see it,
283
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:39.799
like in January.
284
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:44.600
Yeah, December fifth in New York City is what Wikipedia says,
285
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.480
and then December fifteenth in the LA United States.
286
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.840
It was nine theaters rolled out on December fifteenth.
287
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.840
So listen, almost a million dollars for let's just say,
288
00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:01.080
what ten theaters? Maybe that's hey, come on, So anyway,
289
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.799
if we've just mentioned that, it's barely oh four. But
290
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.480
that's why we're doing it because it did technically have
291
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.960
its release, even though it didn't get its wide one
292
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.960
until January. But go ahead, sorry, So this is budget, right, budget?
293
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.879
What do we think the budget for a million dollar baby?
294
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.320
You got some famous people.
295
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.679
Yes, I'm gonna say, oh man, but.
296
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.639
I feel like Eastwood shoots cheap though.
297
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:27.120
Yeah, I feel like we've talked about that before.
298
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:28.120
I think so too.
299
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.559
Yeah, I'm gonna say twenty five.
300
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:35.360
I was I was thinking maybe like forty three.
301
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.799
Twenty five and forty three. I actually, I actually, now
302
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:40.919
that you mentioned Mystic River, I want to see what
303
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:44.240
it's budget was, because I don't remember off the top
304
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:46.440
of my head, but I can pull it up real quick.
305
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.240
Do we want to guess Mystic Rivers budget again?
306
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.799
Wasn't that in the twenties?
307
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:54.039
Seventeen million?
308
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.480
All right? Let me let me, let me get this again.
309
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.639
What did you guys say for a million dollar baby?
310
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.519
And I'll tell twenty five, forty three, twenty five and
311
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.000
forty three. All right, So the budget for Mystic River
312
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.440
was twenty five million.
313
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.559
Well maybe that's why it's in my head.
314
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.320
Yeah, and you're not far off. The budget for a
315
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.879
million dollar baby thirty million dollars. And let's put in
316
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.200
that to some correlations. The budget for Friday Night Lights
317
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.799
that we just did two months ago was also thirty
318
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:21.559
million dollars.
319
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.399
How about that?
320
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:28.840
You got different resultsast, but that's not fair because the
321
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:32.360
cast is vastly different. So that's that's not fair.
322
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.679
And also million Dollar Baby did not get a TV
323
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:36.279
spin off.
324
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:37.039
It did not.
325
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.200
That's true. That's true. I wish it did.
326
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:39.480
Well.
327
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.320
You could have because this was based off of a
328
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.200
book that was like a collection of stories like this.
329
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.039
I would love to know if he bought that cafe
330
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.480
the diner? Yeah, or is it just a season of
331
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.799
him trying different pies?
332
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.200
Yeah, and it becomes you could go a number of ways,
333
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:00.159
Well there was maybe maybe he becomes Andy Griffith and
334
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.120
waitress and you get million Dollar Waitress exactly.
335
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.799
Oh my god, now we're cooking.
336
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.119
Yeah, you talk about it.
337
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.680
There you go, Hollywood, Andy Griffin.
338
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:15.640
That's a legendary piater and take that for legendary piaters.
339
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.920
Is that our favorite piles?
340
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:24.759
And I bet stop it be's body, don't water out,
341
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.160
don't leave those two alone.
342
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:33.440
Yeah, there it is. There's a callback. We obviously realized
343
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.599
that Million Dollar Baby is episode three of the day.
344
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.880
For those keeping score at home, look, Million Dollar Baby,
345
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.240
like we said, open December fifteenth, two thousand and four,
346
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.559
and nine theaters. It rolled out to one hundred and
347
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.599
nine theaters on January seven, which it finally rolled out
348
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.839
to over two thousand screens the weekend of January twenty eighth,
349
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.200
and had compiled nine point four million dollars to that
350
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.559
point on one hundred and forty seven screens. There's the
351
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.240
reason why I'm saying this week one. Back in December,
352
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.039
it was the twenty fourth ranked film. Week two, it
353
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.119
dropped to twenty six. Week three, it dropped to twenty seventh.
354
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.640
When it moved to one hundred and nine screens, it
355
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.119
jumped up to fifteenth, Man fourteenth, and week five on
356
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:17.079
one hundred and twenty two screens. You're seeing a trajectory here.
357
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.920
Week six it moved up to twelfth on one hundred
358
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.160
and forty seven screens, and then week seven it finished
359
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:27.240
third on twenty and ten screens, behind the films Are
360
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.400
We There Yet? And Hide and Seek, of course. So
361
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.759
my question to you boys is what was the wide
362
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:39.000
release opening weekend box office the weekend of January twenty
363
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:43.079
eighth to thirty four million dollar? Baby US Canada?
364
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.240
And Are We There Yet? Is number one?
365
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:46.720
With ice Cube?
366
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.039
Oh boy, I'm going to say seventeen million.
367
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.640
I'm going to say eleven.
368
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.599
Seventeen and eleven. Brandon is the closest without going over
369
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.400
at twelve point two six five million dollars.
370
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:03.519
There you have it.
371
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:05.759
And I will say a lot of times, and I
372
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.599
mean anybody that kind of keeps up with like award season,
373
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.960
like you said, by the time October November is kind
374
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:16.480
of award season kickoff and everything. But back then the
375
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:20.680
Oscars came out, the Oscars were in February, yes, which
376
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:24.039
means that by the time Million Dollar Baby is opening
377
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:26.480
up in over one hundred screens of two thousand screens,
378
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.079
it's got those you know previews on TV that says
379
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.799
it's been nominated for eight Academy Awards and stuff like that,
380
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.880
so it's it's got some momentum behind it by then, Yeah,
381
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.000
it does, because now, like I don't even they're not
382
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:43.799
even announced till now into January, maybe February.
383
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.920
I think it's February when their announce and then.
384
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:47.839
March has been which I wish. I kind of wish
385
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.319
they would put it back in February. I agree, but
386
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:52.240
they did it because of COVID and never went back.
387
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.319
So your US Canada total box office was one hundred
388
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:01.559
and a half million dollars, uh dang. And this is
389
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.440
because worldwide it brought in just under two hundred and
390
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.160
seventeen million dollars, which means the international audience has loved
391
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.759
this film now way more than American audiences.
392
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.440
Did you mean people love Clint Eastwood. Yeah, that's all
393
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:17.119
over the world.
394
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:21.119
That's fascinating. What is it about this film that draws
395
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:22.400
such a global audience.
396
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.400
Well, boxing is an international sport, if they're.
397
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:29.519
Ever true true, and I think you've got I mean,
398
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:31.599
it's kind of like how they say, like Tom Cruise
399
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.079
is an international star. I think if you don't, I mean,
400
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:36.960
everybody knows Clint Eastwood. Even if you don't, you know,
401
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.000
I think fans of his just show up anyway. Yeah,
402
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:41.200
most of them are dead now.
403
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.440
But or maybe it's because a lot of the world
404
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:46.839
is like Brandon and they love to see women die
405
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.319
on film.
406
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.839
Could be like wait a minute, Hillary Swing dies in this, Okay,
407
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:54.920
get you come on, kids, Come on, kids, everybody, come on,
408
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:55.720
let's go watch.
409
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.160
So the French especially loved this film because they brought
410
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.160
twenty two point one million dollars. Our friends in Spain
411
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:07.680
sixteen million dollars, and we haven't visited them in a
412
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:10.839
while because they haven't been on the roster. But Bulgaria
413
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.599
impressive forty one thousand dollars.
414
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:16.359
Get it. Bulgaria, man, get it.
415
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:20.519
There's little pocket of Clin east Wood fans oll but.
416
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.359
Not many in Lithuania as it only brought in thirty
417
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:28.119
five hundred dollars at the box of k What indeed.
418
00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:31.720
What theaters are showing these in Lithuania? Like? Do they
419
00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:33.920
have a version of the Bill Court out there that's like, Oh,
420
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.200
there's this American filmmaker Clin Eastwood.
421
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:37.160
Have you heard of it?
422
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:37.920
Yeah?
423
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:40.039
I wonder if you think there's a chance that you
424
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:41.640
could become our fifty second state.
425
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:42.559
I don't know.
426
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.519
They should just to teach them a lesson.
427
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.000
Have they named the fifty first and I missed it?
428
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:48.880
Yeah? Canada?
429
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:50.920
Oh, Canada. I didn't know if it was going to
430
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.960
be Greenland.
431
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:54.160
Or some executive order thing. I'm not sure. I just
432
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:58.519
know that now on the map they're known as the Canadia.
433
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.599
Saw Well, at the time that's taping, it could be
434
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:03.039
Iran for all we know.
435
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:04.000
It's true.
436
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.920
That's true. That's that's what's fun about America. Now. There's
437
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:08.359
so many options that's.
438
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.000
Wild to think about. As we're sitting here recording this,
439
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.880
By the time this is released, there may be.
440
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:14.960
A full blown world war.
441
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.279
Going on, and we're here talking about Million Dollar Baby.
442
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:23.680
Yeah. Business. The NFL season has been canceled, you know, yeah,
443
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:29.400
oh man, the draft has been reinstated. Yeah, those are
444
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:31.680
darker times. We're already talking about a dark movie to
445
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:37.480
begin with. Let's talk Let's talk about ratings and reviews
446
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:40.720
on Rotten Tomatoes, the Tomato meter. There's two hundred and
447
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.279
sixty eight reviews. What do we think the critics thought
448
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:45.559
of Million Dollar Baby?
449
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.559
This has got to be one of those I'm gonna say,
450
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.640
I'm going to stay ninety six percent.
451
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:51.799
I was gonna say ninety three.
452
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.759
You both shot over a little bit. Ninety percent. That
453
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.039
surprises me to be honest, nine out of ten and
454
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:06.240
Dennis agree o, yeah yeah. And then the Popcorn Meter,
455
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.920
the you know, the Everyday Joe. Two hundred and fifty
456
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:13.279
thousand plus reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for a Million Dollar Baby.
457
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:14.799
What do we think this sits at?
458
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:17.319
I mean, I don't think it starts with a nine.
459
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:20.880
I don't either, because I this probably feels.
460
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:23.079
Like I'm gonna say seventy nine.
461
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.920
I was gonna say, I was gonna say eighty one.
462
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.079
I'm gonna say eighty two, eighty.
463
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:33.000
Two, seventy nine, and eighty two. Actually everybody is on
464
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.319
agreement that at ninety percent is the rating for both
465
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:37.799
Popcorn Meter and Tomato Meter.
466
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:42.799
I'm surprised usually when someone like when critics really love it,
467
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.319
and again you're talking about an audience that may or
468
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:50.640
may not kind of appreciate Clint Eastwood. Yeah, what does that?
469
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:53.880
And it's not like Hillary swink is like the Sandra
470
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.079
Bullock or you know, I mean, that's just not who
471
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:57.680
she is, the top of actress she is.
472
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.680
I'm looking at it as kind of like the reputation
473
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.880
for the Oscars for a long time, like the awards
474
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.359
and stuff was like, oh, boring or sad movies, and
475
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:09.319
this kind of feels like it's it's long.
476
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:11.559
They're like, how come Aragon was it nomination?
477
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.920
It's very sad. I could see like general moviegoers being like, nah,
478
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.240
this ain't no trying to accomplish on a Friday night.
479
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:20.559
They said, wait a minute, a woman dies in this.
480
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.480
That's maybe that's what it was.
481
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.400
What sign me the fuck up? Yeah?
482
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:26.200
Uh.
483
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.680
The people on Letterbox had some wanted to weigh in
484
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.960
with their thoughts as well, and Anto gave it four
485
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.079
and a half stars. And says Rocky is for boys,
486
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:39.400
million Dollar Baby is for men.
487
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:40.400
Yeah.
488
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:41.400
I like it.
489
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:42.480
I like it.
490
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:44.079
I'll drink to that.
491
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:49.480
Yes. Yes. Matt the Snapper, Great Name four and a
492
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.920
half Stars says it's like Eastwood took the plot of
493
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.960
Rocky five and said, I can do it better, and
494
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:02.319
my god he did. Yeah, it does do one. It continues.
495
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.680
While I prefer Mystic River as an overall movie, the
496
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:09.759
last third of a Million Dollar Baby is just masterful.
497
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:11.160
It really is.
498
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.640
That's what changes the film. Really, like up to that point,
499
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.119
the underdog story, the old I mean, it is sort
500
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.119
of like Rocky Mickey, like it is like, oh, she's
501
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:25.200
a girl. But then what you don't realize is what
502
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:28.319
this is actually building too, and it's not. It was
503
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:32.839
never about that championship fight anyway, And that's I think
504
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:37.960
that's why you have someone like Eastwood that is kind
505
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.400
of looking beyond just that. I mean, listen, there's a
506
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.839
lot of boxing tropes in this, but there's always something there,
507
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:47.279
and I think it I think it really kind of
508
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.160
does come from the writing and the performances of like,
509
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:54.039
it's not just boxing. And then it's very clear in
510
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:55.839
the last like you said, half hour or so that
511
00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:01.880
this has, This is has is far beyond the sport.
512
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:03.920
I agree.
513
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.759
Uh. One person who didn't make it to that final
514
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.640
quarter or final third, excuse me, is j mart On Letterbox,
515
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:13.480
who gave it two and a half stars and says
516
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:18.000
turned it off with thirty minutes left to watch Rocky. Sorry,
517
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:19.400
not sorry.
518
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.119
That's what a stupid what a dumb ass?
519
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:27.400
Yeah, you sit on a Coca cola bare ass a
520
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:30.359

521
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.599
two leader saying ship like that.
522
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:40.079
Yeah, I can't imagine. That's just some hater shit. I
523
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.519
can't imagine feeling like that.
524
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.079
Yeah, that goes back to rockies for boys and millionaires.
525
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:46.599
Hey, there we go.
526
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.759
Yeah, I was gonna say, sit on a cana but
527
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:50.839
tane and light a match.
528
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:52.039
There we go, do it?
529
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.240
Do it?
530
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:57.240
Who is this again? I don't care. I don't care.
531
00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:59.000
You should have done it. He shouldn't have done what
532
00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.279
he did.
533
00:26:59.359 --> 00:26:59.960
He went too far.
534
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:02.559
If you're gonna talk out of your ass, you need
535
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:03.440
to be lit by the.
536
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.960
Ass, right and he's explode to explode.
537
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:09.079
I like that.
538
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.720
We talked a lot about Award season. This film definitely
539
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:17.160
brought home a lot of gold Academy Awards is. Specifically,
540
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:21.759
he was nominated seven times, winning four for Best Film, Actress,
541
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.720
Supporting Actor, and Director, making Clint Eastwood at the time
542
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:28.119
the oldest person to win Best Director. I don't know
543
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:30.359
if he's been bested, since I didn't do that research,
544
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:33.240
but I know he's oldest dirt.
545
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:38.359
Now Martin Scorsese won for The Departed, so.
546
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:39.920
He might do that. But I didn't know if he
547
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:40.960
was older or not at the time.
548
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:43.799
Well, you know what, he's not. Eastwood's like ninety something.
549
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.359
Yeah, is still the oldest director.
550
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.920
But he's like Robert Redford never won an Oscar for acting.
551
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:58.279
Yeah, I could see why. No offense to Clint Eastwood, but.
552
00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:00.960
He was nominated for a million dollar baby actor and
553
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:02.640
I've badly a limited one.
554
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:05.799
Do you remember lost Jamie Fox for red So there
555
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:09.759
you go. Take that lost Jamie Fox. And then the
556
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:13.839
other two was that they lost was adapted screenplay which
557
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:17.279
went to Sideways and film editing, which went to aviator.
558
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.680
Sossure says he was involved in that one, wasn't he well?
559
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.640
And then, like I said, this made Swank a two
560
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:29.119
time Best Actress winner, and for anybody keeping score at
561
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:32.960
home that thinks, oh, hey, how Morgan Freeman won for
562
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.119
Best Supporting Actor? How many was that for him? That's
563
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:37.960
his only one?
564
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:40.839
That's kind of wild to think too, but.
565
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:43.720
Hey, there he's got a good Uh. Tim Robbins won
566
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:48.799
for mister River those supporting characters in some Clint Easwood movies,
567
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:52.160
which that why didn't Dwight Yoakam win for Cri macho.
568
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.119
You know, I'll tell you why. It's an awful movie.
569
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.920
But but come on, but yeah, I think all those
570
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:04.799
are well deserved. Morgan Freeman, Hillary Swing. I think it
571
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:07.440
was kind of a surprise because it was a late
572
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.119
addition to the Oscar Race, but the fact that it
573
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:14.359
did pick up director and picture, which I mean, looking back,
574
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:17.200
I mean, I have no I got no qualms about it,
575
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.319
even though I think Sideway was nominated too, which I
576
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:23.000
really enjoyed a good film. But yeah, no, that's a
577
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.920
good that's a loaded that's a loaded oscars for a
578
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.519
lot of stuff. I think a lot of people would say, yeah,
579
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:30.240
those are those are some great films.
580
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:37.920
I agree. So, uh. Billion Dollar Baby was based off
581
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:40.839
a collection of short stories that was in a book
582
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:44.839
called rope Burn Stories from the Corner by Steve by
583
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:49.000
no by one man named FX Toole, who was actually
584
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.359
better known as a longtime fight manager and cutman Jerry Boyd.
585
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:57.160
The book was published in two thousand by HarperCollins, and
586
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:00.440
Toole was a seventy at the time and had been
587
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.880
writing and battling rejection letters for forty years before getting published. Finally,
588
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:08.039
and Roe Burns was his first published work, and soon
589
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:11.799
after its publication he was commissioned to write his first novel,
590
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.400
an epic story set on the Texas Mexico border, but
591
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.440
sadly died in two thousand and two just before the
592
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.920
novel was finished, and he dedicated it to his partner
593
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:24.519
and longtime friend Dub Huntley.
594
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.200
He'll being they always see, that's what happens.
595
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:33.319
He got a late start, but the films was based
596
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.160
off three particular short stories from that book called The
597
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:40.519
Monkey Look, Million Dollar Baby, and Frozen Water, with some
598
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:43.640
of the parts of the introduction used as well. And
599
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.039
then Hagis that we talked about would come on to
600
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:51.759
later write the screenplay, and Toole died sadly shortly after
601
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:55.000
learning Clint Eastwood had signed on to the films as
602
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:56.079
star and director.
603
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:58.519
Wait he was alive and filmed out.
604
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.359
Shortly died. After learning Clint the film.
605
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.759
He was so happy it killed him. He thought, oh
606
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.240
my god, Clint Eastwood is going to direct and star
607
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:13.920
in this and a woman's going to die.
608
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:18.960
I'm about to get paid. Take me now, Take me now,
609
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:20.799
Good Lord, I've seen it all and then.
610
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.839
And the good Lord said, you got it, buddy, come.
611
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.400
On up or down. We don't know where he went.
612
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:32.599
Well, I'm saying, well, right now, in my scenario, he's
613
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:34.960
talking to the Lord, so it has to be in
614
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:39.039
the clowns. Okay, that's my understanding of the Bible. You
615
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:40.839
go talk to the Lord and sit on a cloud.
616
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.839
I believe that is what I've read. Okay, yes, yes, well,
617
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:47.920
poor Well, at least he got to know that, you know,
618
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:49.440
his stuff was in good hands.
619
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.319
Peter Berg wasn't going to direct it. He got it.
620
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:55.599
Exactly.
621
00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:59.039
I will I will say. You know, we talked about
622
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.359
earlier about the lie of this movie at the box office,
623
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:04.920
and it remained in the top five at the box
624
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:08.160
office from the time it was nominated for Oscars until
625
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:12.039
the actual ceremony, and it actually stayed in theaters for
626
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:15.759
six and a half months, which no film today could
627
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:18.359
even remotely get close to doing No.
628
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:20.880
No, that's unheard. Yeah in this day and age.
629
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:25.160
Yeah, the prepping in the shooting of A Million Dollar
630
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.440
Baby was so quick that producer and director Clean Eastwood
631
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.720
basically kept the same crew as he used on Mystic
632
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:35.119
River because he pretty much directly went from one to
633
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:35.440
the other.
634
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.480
I was about to say, didn't we just talk about
635
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:38.680
mister River last year?
636
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:39.720
Last year we did?
637
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:41.279
Yeah, So that's uh.
638
00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:42.519
He was a run man.
639
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:44.119
That's a that is a run.
640
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:48.119
Yep, and uh. He this was not his first time
641
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:51.519
winning an Oscar for Best Director, as he did also
642
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.279
in nineteen for nineteen ninety three Is Unforgiven, which also
643
00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:58.799
featured uh, Morgan Freeman.
644
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:04.200
And one Gene Hackman Best Supporting Actor. Yeah, I'm telling you.
645
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:09.119
And who else was in that? Richard h Dreyfus, No,
646
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:12.720
he's dead now. I can't think of his name.
647
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.920
I just remember Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Clint for
648
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:17.599
the most part.
649
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:23.160
That's gonna bother me because he was also in Patriots Day.
650
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.640
Beats me. I'm lost on this one.
651
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:31.119
Uh, Richard Harris, That's what I was thinking.
652
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:35.000
I was gonna say, Yeah, I think His last film
653
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.519
was Gladiator, one of his I think we talked.
654
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:41.839
We may have talked about that on like the second
655
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:43.559
episode ever of this podcast.
656
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:46.920
We did, but I take that back because he was
657
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:49.880
the first Dumbledore and they had to recast because he
658
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.920
passed away after the first movie.
659
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:53.519
Yeah, yeah, that's what it was.
660
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:58.359
Richard Harris fan second.
661
00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.960
Fan dressed up as him for Halloween when I was thirteen.
662
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.240
Yeah, here's a little fun, little triun knowledge of trivia.
663
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:07.920
Clint Eastwood, like I said, won Best Director in ninety
664
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.639
three front Forgiven, and he won Best Director in two
665
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:13.559
thousand and five for A Million Dollar Baby. He was
666
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:18.199
presented the award at the Oscars for both of those
667
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:20.480
awards by the same person. And it's the one and
668
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:21.559
only Barbara Streissan.
669
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:23.239
How about that?
670
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:24.280
Yeah?
671
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:24.960
How about that?
672
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:29.119
And this is one of two boxing films to ever
673
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:31.559
win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
674
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:36.280
The Best Picture the other one. Are we supposed to guess?
675
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:37.679
Or are you gonna tell us?
676
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:40.519
I thought I put this in my notes, but I
677
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:42.599
don't have it in my notes, but I think I
678
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:44.400
have one. I think it's one of two movies.
679
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.400
I think it was Rocky, wasn't it Rocky won Best Picture,
680
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:50.400
did it? I think?
681
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:54.719
So? Yeah, Well, now we're.
682
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:57.599
Gonna damn it. I can't believe. I don't have this.
683
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:01.480
Rocky won Best Picture Oscar at the forty ninth Academy
684
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:03.199
Awards in nineteen seventy seven.
685
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:05.559
That was not one of my two. I was thinking,
686
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.880
either the Champion or Raging Bull.
687
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:09.760
I don't know.
688
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:13.000
I went blank on fucking Rocky of all movies.
689
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:18.639
And he is a stallone is an Oscar winner? I thought?
690
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:20.639
But it was, and I thought he had won Best
691
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.760
Actor but he hadn't. He was nominated for Best Actor
692
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.519
and for Best Original Screenplay because he wrote it. But
693
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.440
I don't think he's an I don't think he's an
694
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:29.239
actual winner.
695
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:30.960
Well no, because that was why.
696
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.719
The Best Supporting Actor for Creed.
697
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:33.360
Yeah.
698
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:35.800
Yeah, Well but then I thought it was like the
699
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:40.119
acting thing, like yes, you know, like Ben Affleck, he's
700
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:42.400
won an Oscar for Argo because it won Best Picture
701
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.800
and one for writing. But but yeah, but no, Rocky one.
702
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.559
He did win Best Picture and it did win Best
703
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:48.320
Director as well.
704
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.280
Well. The Affleck also won for a good Will hunting,
705
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.599
didn't he because him and him and Matt Road he did.
706
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:57.039
Yeah, But I just mean Afflex never won for acting.
707
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:01.559
Gottcha, Yeah the fuck the guy from Gilie has never
708
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:02.920
won of Best Actors.
709
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:07.840
Come on, come on, he's a a great director. Yeah
710
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:12.559
he was, Uh he was nominated for oh for acting?
711
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:12.880
Girl.
712
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:16.119
Yeah, I don't know if he's been nominated for acting.
713
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:17.719
Actually yeah, I don't know.
714
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:19.599
Was he nominated for Argo?
715
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:21.880
We may never We may never know.
716
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.400
No, for actor. The big deal was he wasn't nominated
717
00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:28.639
for Best Director. Yeah, but anyway, this drinking with episode
718
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:29.639
about Argo, I've.
719
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:34.840
Go ahead. I was gonna say. Clint Eastwood, though, was
720
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.840
nominated for Best Actor for A Million Dollar Baby, and he,
721
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:40.840
out of all the nominees, was the only one that
722
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:42.719
played a fictional character that year.
723
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:47.920
Oh well, that's true because there's a Ray Charles Charles
724
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:52.159
and there is a what's his name from the Aviator
725
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:56.760
not DiCaprio. So the guy plays who.
726
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:02.079
Was Yes, and then like to Hughes Hughes.
727
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:04.199
Yeah, Howard Hughes.
728
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:06.159
Hughes Is this when.
729
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:10.119
Johnny Depp was in Finding Neverland? I believe so my
730
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:11.599
own role here, I.
731
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:16.440
Think you are Thes and Hughes part YEA.
732
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:21.119
To confirm Ben Affleck has never been nominated for an
733
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:21.880
Academy Awards.
734
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:22.840
Unfortunate.
735
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:26.039
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.
736
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:29.079
We could town, couldn't.
737
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:34.400
We I love the town, but I talked about.
738
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:34.880
Uh.
739
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.840
Eastwood getting his awards for Director from Barbara streisand UH producer.
740
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:44.039
Albert S. Ruddy won his second Best Picture award for
741
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:48.320
A Million Dollar Baby. His first award was for The Godfather,
742
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:51.679
which was presented to him by Clint Eastwood.
743
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:58.679
Oh my life. If you stay in this business long enough, Yeah, yeah,
744
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:03.719

745
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:04.840
Barber Streis.

But let's just check back with us. Check back with
749
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:20.719

750
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:25.320
Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby won Best Director and Best
751
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:29.519
Picture with Clint Eastwood as actor, producer and director and
752
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.920
co starring Morgan Freeman, Scott Talent.
753
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:37.280
That Morgan Freeman, guy Petty Good he is God.
754
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:40.079
Yeah, they got something they have.
755
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:42.119
I look forward to their next one together.
756
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:42.960
Yep.
757
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:47.639
Look, if if you want some party tricks to throw out,
758
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:50.400
some little trivia to throw out your next party, just
759
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:53.840
just ask somebody who the first Best Picture winner was
760
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:56.840
to ever be released on h D DVD.
761
00:38:58.280 --> 00:38:59.760
Would that be unforgiven?
762
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:05.159
It would not, it would be Million Dollar Baby. It
763
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.840
was also the first Best Picture to ever be released
764
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:08.440
on Blu ray.
765
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:11.199
Oh and I just got that recently.
766
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.039
I would like to add that to my collection.
767
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:14.119
Yeah, that's a good one.
768
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:15.039
That's a good one to have.
769
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:19.320
Uh. This is the film debut of Mike Coulter, who
770
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.400
is best known for his work on Luke Cage and
771
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:25.400
the Netflix show Evil Sevil.
772
00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:27.920
I haven't but Evil has been a big I think
773
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.400
it was on CBS now. I think it's considered paramount
774
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:34.559
plus show. But that's a big It's got at least
775
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:38.320
a handful of seasons. But I've never watched it either. Yeah,
776
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:39.360
I've never watched it either.
777
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:41.760
I wish they'd bring him back to the Marvel stuff
778
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:44.239
as Luke Cage. That was one of the few marks.
779
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:48.320
I like that one quite a bit. Yeah.
780
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.360
Well, did you know that Clint Eastwood, with his win
781
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:55.199
for Best Director, became the twelfth person to win multiple
782
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:58.599
Best Picture Oscars for directing.
783
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:00.800
So just the twelfth per Lison to do it.
784
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:05.239
And that's one multiple Best Picture Oscars.
785
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:10.960
That kind of well, yeah, well I think the exhaust.
786
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:13.280
Well I was going to say yeah, but you got to.
787
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:15.639
I mean, Francis for Coppola would be up there. I
788
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:16.880
would imagine.
789
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:19.039
Spielberg He's one of them. Serg is not.
790
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:23.039
Spielberg's not. I thought he want a couple of saving
791
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:24.639
well the only one.
792
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:26.960
And some of these I've never heard of. But Frank
793
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:29.960
Lloyd okay, Frank Capra.
794
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:33.800
Okay, yeah, all right, William Wyler yep, Billy what yep?
795
00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:41.760
Elia Kazan, It doesn't sound familiar. Vincent Manelli, who I'm
796
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:46.719
guessing is what's your name's dad? Lisa's Lisas. I could
797
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:48.840
be wrong, but I'm just shot in the dark.
798
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:51.280
If if you have the same last name, you are related.
799
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:58.039
Everyone knows that. Billy Wilder, oh okay, Oh I've missed.
800
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:02.480
Okay, Billy, excuse me, David Lean, who I'm not familiar with,
801
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:08.800
Robert Wise, Fred Zinnemann, and then Francis Ford Coppola, and
802
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.119
lastly Milo's Foreman. Oh.
803
00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:15.159
Milos yeah, because he was I mean Milos went from
804
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:18.039
what was it he did terms of I think he
805
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:20.079
did terms of and no, we didn't do terms of doing,
806
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:23.199
but he did like Amadeus. Yes, and he did like
807
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:25.280
Shock a lot. I know it didn't win Best Picture,
808
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.239
but he's had more than a few.
809
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:28.119
Yeah.
810
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:29.800
Wow.
811
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:34.679
And and this is not Hillary Swank's first sports related film,
812
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:36.719
and I think we've kind of hinted at it earlier,
813
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:39.920
as she starred in the Next Karate Kid. Yep.
814
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:45.159
Yeah, good for her. Couldn't get her back for Cobra Kai, No.
815
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.159
I don't. I don't think that third movie made sense,
816
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:50.960
and neither did her coming back and Cobra Kai makes sense. Yeah,
817
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.360
but she would have been the biggest person on that.
818
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:57.039
That's true. I'll tell you that would have been a draw,
819
00:41:58.920 --> 00:41:59.480
if you say so.
820
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:03.519
If uh, what about Eastwood? Could they make can they
821
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:04.320
make room for him?
822
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:06.599
He could be the new mister Miagi.
823
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:12.360
Yeah, his bones will break.
824
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.800
He's just screened. Wax on, wax off, Get off my lawn.
825
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:19.039
He'll be He'll be the new mister Glass.
826
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:26.880
To tie this, yeah, somehow? Uh, well, you know, m
827
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.280
Night Shyamalan could have been a choice for director. We
828
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:31.239
don't know, but I do have some coulda would have
829
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:33.360
should us for a million dollar baby?
830
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:35.719
Oh okay, yeah, good, this is good.
831
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:40.159
H Morgan Freeman was originally approached to play the role
832
00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:44.719
of Frankie Dunn. I can see, yes, But even before
833
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:48.039
Clint Eastwood took on directing and starring roles, he decided
834
00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:50.960
to take the part of Eddie's scrap Iron Dupriest.
835
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:55.599
I kind of feel like Clint Eastwood's like grumpiness lends
836
00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:58.960
itself to the hard exterior that we did. We see
837
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:00.079
Frankie early.
838
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:03.800
On, and Eastwood just, I mean he just it's on
839
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.920
his like, it's on his face, like you can't nobody
840
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:11.480
has that kind of look. So yeah, that kind of
841
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:15.639
felt like that that had to be. It had to
842
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:16.960
happen that way.
843
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:24.519
Angelica Houston originally bought the book rights to rope burn.
844
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:26.679
I thought she was gonna be Hillary Spike's character.
845
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:30.000
And yeah, I should I should have said bought he
846
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:33.960
She brought the book to producer Albert S. Ruddy brought
847
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:36.039
it to his attention, hoping that he would ask her
848
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:39.199
to direct the film because she guaranteed that he would
849
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:42.079
cry after reading the book or the story rather, and
850
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:45.079
he admits that he did. However, by the time Rudy
851
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:48.320
acquired the rights, Houston was busy on another project.
852
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:49.480
Damn it.
853
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:51.840
I'm not sure how that film would be.
854
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:56.760
Yeah, and for those that don't know the legendary John
855
00:43:56.800 --> 00:44:00.119
Houston that's his daughter, and Jack Houston, who's been in
856
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:05.119
a lot of movies, that's her brother. And yeah, it
857
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:07.679
wouldn't have been the same. It certainly wouldn't have that
858
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:11.400
type of I mean the way Clint Eastwood makes his films,
859
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:13.480
especially like as he's gotten older, he kind of did
860
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:17.239
take on where sort of mystic river on through, Like
861
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:20.039
even like Richard Jewel, he kind of makes them the
862
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:24.880
same way, like the feeling, the look, the tone of it. Yeah,
863
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:26.800
I don't know. I don't even and I don't even
864
00:44:26.840 --> 00:44:29.119
know if I've seen a movie in Jallakie Houston's directed,
865
00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.440
so I probably can't really coming on.
866
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:34.639
I don't know she has. But I will say in
867
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:37.559
his later years directing films and acting as well, I'm
868
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:43.000
really upset that there wasn't a threesome scene with Clint
869
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:45.320
Eastwood in this film, Like there was that that one
870
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:46.880
film that I saw a couple of years ago that
871
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:48.039
I don't remember the name of.
872
00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:50.440
Wow, wild Things.
873
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:52.840
I don't think it was Wild Things.
874
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:54.000
It was a threesome.
875
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:58.679
Yeah, there's a scene where he like he's smuggling like
876
00:44:58.880 --> 00:44:59.679
he was smuggling.
877
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:06.719
Yeah, yeah, so are you hold on? I want to
878
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:09.880
make sure I understand correctly. You were hoping that Clint Eastwood,
879
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:12.880
Morgan Freeman, and Hillary Sway were in a threesome.
880
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:22.239
No, no, no, j Bouchelle all had a threesome. Oh
881
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:25.719
my god, because Jay does get the ship beat out
882
00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:26.920
of him at some point in the.
883
00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:29.039
Film's true, which I mean rightfully.
884
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:32.239
So he basically got a coke zero up the ass.
885
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:33.800
Yeah he did, and he looked like it.
886
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:41.519
I don't know what that you get your your face
887
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:41.960
beatn in.
888
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:47.599
I just I'm I'm just here to be the laugh track.
889
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:50.599
I don't get it, and just smash his face in
890
00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:51.119
and then.
891
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:57.719
He probably he probably would have rather episode probably would
892
00:45:57.760 --> 00:45:59.519
have been a nice He probably would have rather had
893
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:01.719
a coke row up his hands and maybe get beat
894
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:03.400
up by Anthony Mackie.
895
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:04.239
Fair enough.
896
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:06.559
So, uh, the last could have would have should have.
897
00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:08.719
In the last note I have for a million dollar
898
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:14.039
baby is there were two actresses attached to play Maggie
899
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:17.440
before Hillary Swaint came on board. Who do we think
900
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:20.440
those two actresses could have been? And it's not Alicia Silversteine.
901
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:24.239
I was about to say, early two thousands, maybe.
902
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:26.000
Two thousand and three, two thousand and four.
903
00:46:26.599 --> 00:46:28.960
I don't know. Sandra Bullock, halle Berry.
904
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:34.280
Yeah, oh, I would have liked that Sandra Bullock was
905
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:39.559
one of them, but she eventually committed to do miscongeniality
906
00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:40.400
too instead.
907
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:45.000
What a choice as she should have. I mean, I
908
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:45.199
don't know.
909
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.280
I just keep thinking like Nicole Kidman or Helen Mirin.
910
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:54.639
Not either one of those. Ashley Judd was considered.
911
00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:58.320
Okay, well you know what back then she was Yep,
912
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:02.519
that makes sense, Yep, that makes that could have been
913
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:03.440
really something for her.
914
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:08.000
Yeah. Uh. Do we have some favorite scenes or quotes
915
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:10.519
from Million Dollar Baby that we would like to add
916
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:12.000
before we move move out of here?
917
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:17.199
I do. Let's hear it by sirs, they just laugh
918
00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:20.880
at you so hurtful. It is hurtful. But I remember
919
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:24.920
saying that all anytime, like whatever we were talking about,
920
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:27.480
and I've just been like, they just laugh at you.
921
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:31.199
But yeah, that scene. But in context, that scene is
922
00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:34.039
very hurtful because that woman just got a house for
923
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:36.440
free and she's been a bee about it.
924
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:42.719
That shit pissed me off so bad. When Margo Martindale's
925
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:45.239
character just as a whole pissed me off about as
926
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:48.719
much as Tim McGraw did and Friday Night Lights. And
927
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:54.039
she's like so unappreciated. Yeah, yeah, unappreciative. It's a better
928
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:57.679
word for a free fit, a free uh house.
929
00:47:57.800 --> 00:47:59.760
And she's worried about all this money she gets from
930
00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:00.360
the government.
931
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.719
Yeah, and she's like, there's a mentality I see a lot,
932
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:07.760
especially where I live, Like why do I want to
933
00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:09.559
get off and get a get off my ass and
934
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:11.159
get a job when I've got this.
935
00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:15.440
Yeah, and she yeah, but yeah, she's very ungrateful. It
936
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:17.320
was amazing, And then even the way she kind of
937
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:20.400
handled it, And then I liked where Clint Eastwood doesn't
938
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:22.440
even say anything, but you see him looking like he's
939
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:24.719
up against the porch. And then of course, you know,
940
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:27.079
it kind of comes out when they when it's clear
941
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.320
they've been to Disneyland and everything else before coming to
942
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.079
see her, which is also a nice But then I
943
00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:36.000
but then it's kind of like there's a little bit
944
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.280
of that, like, Okay, she sees them for who they
945
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:42.800
really are, because she actually tells Eastwood to be like,
946
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.880
so none of your business. But then she handles it herself,
947
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:48.960
and you know, they storm off, which right for you know,
948
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.559
of course they do. But but yeah, I think, I really,
949
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:56.760
I think it's in those it's in those final moments
950
00:48:56.760 --> 00:48:59.079
where he kind of tells her what that's saying is
951
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:03.079
and it's the first it's the really the first time
952
00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:04.559
of the whole film, and again it's you know, it's
953
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:07.280
all about kind of this journey of kind of how
954
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:09.440
they meet and where they meet in their lives, but
955
00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:13.960
that it's it's a very tender moment in that last
956
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:17.000
little bit, and I it's it's not so I guess
957
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:19.360
this is a moment. But you know, even through all
958
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:21.440
the years, and I haven't really watched it all the
959
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:24.320
way through, probably since I saw in theaters, I just
960
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:28.039
I just really loved it then and I still do now.
961
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.880
But the one thing I always remembered was that final
962
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.960
shot of him and that diner. Yeah, and I even
963
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.719
forgot about the letter to his daughter and stuff and why,
964
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:41.239
but I loved when they first go I paid more
965
00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:43.480
attention to it this time and when they were actually there,
966
00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:46.599
and I thought that that that is such like no
967
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:49.679
matter where he goes, and it's like he just there,
968
00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:52.800
he is, and that's all he's doing at this point,
969
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:55.800
and I don't know, I I it's I think it's
970
00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:57.960
one of the best best endings in the way it's
971
00:49:57.960 --> 00:49:59.840
just done. It doesn't even really kind of you know,
972
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:03.320
it's just a glimpse, but you know, you know what's
973
00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:03.760
going on.
974
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:08.400
Yeah yeah. The phrase or name that he's given to her,
975
00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:11.519
I wasn't even gonna attempt to butcher the pronunciation of it,
976
00:50:11.559 --> 00:50:15.119
but it translates in Irish or Gaelic to my darling
977
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:20.440
and my blood, which literally means my pulse. I love
978
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:23.239
the connection between those two when it as it grows
979
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:26.599
throughout the film, because you see the mom and the
980
00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:29.920
sister and the sister's husband or whatever as a part,
981
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:33.519
but there's not a father in Maggie's life that seems
982
00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:38.280
to be around, and so you know, Clintiechwood's Frankie's character
983
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:42.880
basically becomes that for her, at even so strongly at
984
00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:45.400
the end of the film, where he's the one who
985
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:48.519
has to like take her out of her pain sadly.
986
00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:52.239
Yeah, but I love how And of course the reveal
987
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.360
is very thought out because by the time you get
988
00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:59.880
to that scene, it's it hits, it hits.
989
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:03.280
Yeah. Yeah, well done, well.
990
00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:04.320
Yeah, well done. Clint.
991
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.320
Yeah, good job, Clint, thanks for making me cry because
992
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:11.840
my dad didn't have the injury that obviously Maggie took. Uh,
993
00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:15.800
diabetes thanks to his exposure to agent Orange and Vietnam
994
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:19.760
kind of slowly derailed his life where he became bedridden
995
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.960
for such a long time and he collected those sores
996
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:26.039
like you see on Maggie throughout the end of the film,
997
00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:29.960
where his legs had to be amputated as well.
998
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:31.199
Uh.
999
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:35.119
Now, luckily, you know other things was actually what ended
1000
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:38.159
up taking his life and not not me going into
1001
00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:42.000
his assisted living center or nursing home and popping in
1002
00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:45.440
with a shot sadly, happily I should say, uh, but yeah,
1003
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:47.840
those correlations of the two made me say fuck you,
1004
00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:50.920
Clint Eastwood. But he still made a beautiful movie at
1005
00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:55.320
the same fucking time. Yeah. So, before I get teary eyed,
1006
00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:59.079
let's talk about our favorite boxing movies of all time.
1007
00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:02.440
I think this one was pretty easy for me. I
1008
00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:05.239
would put million Dollar Baby up there, I would put
1009
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:09.960
Rocky up there, I would put Cinderella Man in there,
1010
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:12.199
and I would put Creed up there.
1011
00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:15.960
So I have Rocky, million dollar Baby in Creed. I
1012
00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:21.199
went back and forth on Cinderellaman and the one that
1013
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:23.400
I finally landed on just because I think it's an
1014
00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:26.840
overall better film is The Fighter. Yes, with Mark Walberg
1015
00:52:26.920 --> 00:52:30.400
christ that one, but I want to say too, and sorry,
1016
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:32.760
well mccash, go ahead and say yours first, because there's
1017
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:35.199
another one that I think a lot of people that'll
1018
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:37.360
listen to this and be like, why isn't that on there?
1019
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:42.000
And anyway you got thoughts, Well, I basically haven't seen it.
1020
00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:44.039
I haven't seen it all and so I can't do it.
1021
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:46.039
But I have a feeling it would be on most
1022
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:48.440
people's Mount Rushmore. But go ahead, mccash in case you
1023
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:48.679
have it.
1024
00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:52.119
I do have Cinderella, man. I do have not the
1025
00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:55.519
Mark Wahlberg The Fighter, but the Christian Bell The Fighter,
1026
00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:57.559
because I think he's the real star of the film.
1027
00:52:57.960 --> 00:52:59.159
Oh I say that.
1028
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:01.440
I was about to jump on that.
1029
00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:07.960
And then I had the Champ, which was oh Ricky
1030
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:13.079
Schroeders as a kid, his dad's like a fighter. I
1031
00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:16.840
forget who played the lead role in it. Anyway, it's
1032
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:20.079
a beautiful, sad, touching film. And then I went with
1033
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:22.000
a film I don't know if either guy, either of
1034
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:23.519
you guys have heard of or seen this film. But
1035
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:26.840
it's a boxing comedy called Digstown.
1036
00:53:27.639 --> 00:53:29.119
Nope, I don't think so.
1037
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:31.400
I haven't seen it, but I'm not sure if I
1038
00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:31.920
know what it is.
1039
00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:35.440
Either it's oh God, what's the actor's name? He was
1040
00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:40.599
on Sesame Street and and he was in that Richard
1041
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:42.559
gear Officer and a Gentleman film.
1042
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:43.199
Louis.
1043
00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:47.960
Yes, Louis Gossen Jr. Is in it, and he plays,
1044
00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:53.920
you know, kind of an older, washed up boxer alongside
1045
00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:57.559
James Wood. It's from nineteen ninety two.
1046
00:53:57.920 --> 00:54:01.480
Yeah, they had to be old and that instead of
1047
00:54:01.480 --> 00:54:02.559
a million dollar baby.
1048
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:05.440
It's a film that that I worked in a movie
1049
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:07.280
theater the time it came out in high school. So
1050
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:11.079
I saw twenty times has nostalgia for me as well.
1051
00:54:11.159 --> 00:54:15.559
Yep, that'll do it, will Yeah, that's that's. We'll accept
1052
00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:18.119
that excuse, even though I don't know if I think
1053
00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:20.280
I would chisel that shit off of your own.
1054
00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:22.280
Either one of you had fucking seen it, so you
1055
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:23.159
can't speak on it.
1056
00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:25.760
No, And the movie I was talking about is de
1057
00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:26.800
Niro's Raging Bull.
1058
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:28.159
Yeah, but I just haven't.
1059
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:30.239
I haven't watched it all the way through, so I
1060
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:33.599
had I just didn't want to do it, so but yeah,
1061
00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:35.920
this one kind of came pretty easy. But I'd say
1062
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:39.320
Million Dollar Baby is my favorite of all.
1063
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:42.559
Nobody nobody mentioned the Hurricane. I feel like that was.
1064
00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:46.599
The hurricane and Ali yea too, but I think I
1065
00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:50.960
like the Hurricane better. But yeah, again, just overall enjoyment.
1066
00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:53.960
And also I think kind of like you know, with
1067
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:55.519
all of ours, it's kind of like not the best,
1068
00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:57.280
but it's our favorite. So I'm like, you know, you
1069
00:54:57.360 --> 00:55:00.440
associate so much stuff with Rocky, even though yeah, I'm
1070
00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:03.519
sure the Hurricane was probably made better, but do you
1071
00:55:03.559 --> 00:55:05.760
get do you have any of that without Rocky?
1072
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:06.440
Yeah?
1073
00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:08.719
You know what I mean. And I think there's a
1074
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:11.119
lot to say about Raging Bull too that I've just
1075
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:13.559
seen over the years. But like I said, I haven't
1076
00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:16.119
sat and watched all of it, so I can't can't
1077
00:55:16.119 --> 00:55:18.960
do it. There you go, can't do it?
1078
00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:23.719
De Niro? Uh is this it?
1079
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:25.719
We're out?
1080
00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:29.599
That's what I was trying to get to. Is John
1081
00:55:29.719 --> 00:55:35.599
Voight the lead in Chan the Champ alongside Faye Dunaway
1082
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:36.719
and Ricky Schroeder.
1083
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:38.599
Oh, Faye Dunaway, isn't it nice?
1084
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:42.360
Yeah? It's from nineteen seventy nine.
1085
00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:45.039
Yeah, oh god, Okay, well, I.
1086
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:48.079
Highly recommend watching that if you like, especially if you
1087
00:55:48.199 --> 00:55:50.960
like million dollar babies, and it's the kind of the
1088
00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:53.960
dark themes, heavy themes well that are throughout the film.
1089
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:57.280
And if you like a same John Voight, I could
1090
00:55:57.360 --> 00:55:59.960
be that that might take your interest too.
1091
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:01.800
Lost his fucking mind.
1092
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:06.159
Well, gentlemen, that's all I've got for a million dollar Baby,
1093
00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:07.920
unless we've got something else we want to add before
1094
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:09.440
we get out of here. I know we're up against
1095
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:09.840
the clock.
1096
00:56:10.239 --> 00:56:12.519
I'm happening with the sanity of John Voight.
1097
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:16.440
John boyit is running through the streets with a shield
1098
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:16.880

Underscore Cast seventy five on Letterbox at Stephen mccash Again,
1114
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:10.599
this is Drinking With, where we've explored the films that
1115
00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:13.039
we have come of age, just like a fine wine.
1116
00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:15.519
As we raise our glasses to movies turning twenty one,
1117
00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:18.800
we've laughed, reminisced, and maybe shedded tear or two over
1118
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:21.599
this timeless classic. I know I did while watching it.
1119
00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.039
So until next time, maybe your drinks be cold, your
1120
00:57:24.039 --> 00:57:28.039
conversation is lively, and your movie night's unforgettable. Drink responsibly
1121
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:30.400
and remember age is just a number, but great films
1122
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:32.840
are forever. We'll see you next time, but I've got
1123
00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:36.000
to go return some videotapes
